I was playing around with CM11 today, and I was getting a little annoyed that PowerAmp repeatedly locked up between songs so I started to tweak it a bit!
There is no guarantee this will work, but these are the settings I have used to successfully get PowerAmp to work.
First of all, all of this takes place in the audio section under 'settings'.
1.) We are going to go to crossfade, gapless and fade section. Uncheck EVERYTHING. Make sure your settings look like mine below. (I think this is the main culprit).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2.) Next, we will go to 'advanced tweaks' section. Audio thread priority and audio buffer need to be set to 'normal' and 'auto'. Below are my settings.
3.) Lastly, this is optional but it works for me. I turned OFF equalizer, and tone. I left limit ON, because it seems on CM11 the music gets distorted at high levels. With these my music is pretty crystal clear.
This worked for me, so I figured I'd share my results. Hope it helps at least one person out!
Also my music is currently on my external SD card, not sure of that makes a difference or not in the end result.

I left all of that as I had it in 4.3 and just unchecked direct volume control and power amp has worked flawlessly ever since

Any thoughts on how to stop this issue with Google play music?

Looks like this has solved my troubles on CM11 on my AT&T S4.
Thank you, OP.

Thanks OP, this was driving me crazy.

Don't know if any have tried it, but it works on cm7. You can't search for other artists (apparently, when google found out about the leak, they shut down the servers..(for both down load and streaming).
But the app by itself is nifty enough to make me want to use it instead if the native music app. It has a nice iphone-like flow-search (or whatever that's called).
Check out my screen shots below. I dont have much music on my phone now (so no cracks about the sound of music track I have in there), but you can get an ideas of what it looks like.
I would upload it for you guys, but I don't know where it is on my phone. I installed it, and then opened it immediately. When I tried looking around on the SDcard, I couldn't find it anywhere.
But just search here in xda under "honeycomb music app leaked" or similar.
Edit : I don't think it works in Froyo.
Edit: anyone know why these screen shots are blurry? they look fine in my gallery....??? [when I try to upload them to this thread, tapatalk takes over--(which I presume is the xda app), so I think something is getting screwed up st that point.. And I am not near a working computer at the moment

Then how come its not used in any roms? Or at least more frequently used. I have been playing with it for 2 days, and it is a fast nicer music app them the old one.
How long ago was this originally leaked? From everything I have read (which could be wrong I guess), this music app is for honeycomb and is going to be part of google's anticipated entry into music to compete with the iPhone/iPod. It can't be that old.

Alright I'm having a weird issue. My notification sounds don't work (texts, calls, etc) but my speaker DOES work. I was just playing music to test and dialed my voice mail and used speakerphone to hear. But as far as ring tones and notification sounds, nothing I do works. Suggestions? Could it be the 1/27 cm10 nightly?
*Edit* my alarm thankfully works too. I usually always wake up half an hour before my alarm goes off, but I sometimes have those days where I sleep until it goes. Like tonight will be one of those nights... Fresh off a 20 hour shift.
You gotta be a little more specific. Do you have notifications turned on? What Rom are you on etc. Can't help with the info you gave.

It's very possible it's the rom. Flash back to stock and see if you still have the issue. Try a different rom. It's easy to narrow this down to a rom issue.

Possible your notification slider is all the way down? Which I think is the 3rd slider.

Yeah the slider is all the way up. They have expandable on all cm roms. I'll try a new rom when I gots time

Works partly. I've encoutered some bugs. If you or your friend can try to fix some of these it'll probably soon be a pretty good port.
- Partyshuffle mode sometimes causes force-closes.
- Player sometimes gives error about music file formats not working.
- When clicking the "next" or "previous" button, the player sometimes crashes.
- When it has just crashed on a certain song, opening it again and clicking on the "now playing" button, it will crash AGAIN.
- When in "tracks" screen, you need to fix the "a to z" listing, The letters are too small, and don't work, also, no search.
- When searching sd for playlists, it keeps looping with the pop-up message "Scanning SD card...", and on the background you can read a message: "An error was encountered on your SD card."
- When playing on speaker, the sound quality is not always very clear / clean. Sometimes has some sort of scratching noise in the background.
Will post more bugs as soon as I find them!
Good that you're trying to port it, I sort of like it, but like I just made clear, it needs some fixes!
Good luck! :good:
EDIT: Oh, and the included video player: As soon as I click on a MP4 movie, it asks me to play with the stock gallery or the other video apps I've got installed, it doesn't play.
Any news on this?
Hi,
I'm really confused right now. If i slide the Bass Boost slider to the right, it reduces bass instead of boosting it.
Scenario 1: Decent bass:

Sub question 1: What are the best eq settings for nexus 5 according to you guys?
Sub question 2: What is the best alternative for Google Music App for nexus 5?
Thanks!
Honestly the best thing you can do is install viper4android. Best audio mod out there period! Been using it since I got the phone.

V4A hits your battery hard when listening to music. That's why I just use dspmanager

I don't wanna root my phone.
This is repeatable? Can you try with the eEQ sliders at 0db? Also Surround seems to enable itself so keep it off or the same for your testing.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
The built-in EQ is utter crap and has always been.
I'm not sure why you don't want to root, but you're missing out if you haven't used Viper.
I've activated it in the settings but it's not showing. Anyone got any ideas why? Always did before?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
How did you activate it if it's not being shown in Settings??
It's under Settings - Audio - Advanced Tweaks - Music FX.
I did have it. I re installed v4a while flashing a rom update and now the toggle doesn't show, even though it's activated :-S
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Same problem here! but on my nexus 4
Just to be clear, You guys have already tried re-installing the app/clear data, right? If not, do it first and see whether it fixes it?
Also, make sure y'all are using the default PowerAmp skin/theme or skins which are recommended by PowerAmp.. There may be a possibility that the theme y'all are using isn't mapped yet?!
Yea tried all the standard issue stuff. Can't get it to come back! :-S so odd i get this and press enable but nothing -

That's certainly strange. Does the rom which you're currently on support Music FX? Is Music FX present under Android Settings - Sounds?? I don't know whether this could cause the issue or not. I'm just thinking out loud.
Yea, it comes with music fx and if I install viper audio i then get the option in settings to select which to use
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Somehow this had become ticked making the option for the music fx toggle unavailable!
